Bonsai City ; Tree Branches

I have been thinking for a while about this project. Creating a relatively large 3D print of a Bonsai city. Not included thus far are all of the amenities that make a civilized society great. I.e Homes/ Apartments, Transportation Networks, Aqueducts, Cultural Icons, CBD / Rural Areas, Businesses, etc. First step was creating the geography, the second being city planning and infrastructure development.

I had this idea because I thought it would be a cool idea for a toy that people would put together…. like Lego. The tree and branches would come as a series of parts. And all of the city parts as pieces the would connect to the tree individually, and perhaps had the possibility of being customized.

Short design experiments investigating 3D modeling, organic form, math functions and digital fabrication. This body of work serves as an experimental foundation in the development of design ideas for 3D printing and digital fabrication.
